    Om programmet

    For the adventurous, why not combine one of the best treks in the world with a volunteer project? You will have an introduction week in Kathmandu before your base camp trek and then a week of volunteering afterwards. This is a great way to explore and give back at the same time.

    First Week: Introduction Week – Kathmandu

    Starting in the vibrant city of Kathmandu, this week you will learn all about Nepalese culture, the language, dos and don’ts, and lifestyle of the local people. You will also visit temples, go on a hiking tour and even take part in a scavenger hunt race at a local market!

    Second and Third Week: Everest Base Camp Trek

    The Everest Trekking region is on many travellers’ bucket list! This is a hard trek, over rough terrain but mainly due to the altitude, so volunteers must have a reasonable level of fitness, as there won’t be much resting! However, you will be rewarded with some of the most spectacular views, passing through Sherpa villages, admiring some of the world’s most stunning landscapes and getting to see the best of Nepalese culture.

    Fourth Week: Volunteering in Kathmandu

    You will have a choice of several volunteer projects for your final week. This is a great way to give back to the country and to really experience Nepalese hospitality.

    You can choose between teaching at a local school, helping out at a kindergarten or aiding injured dogs at the animal shelter.

    A free airport pickup is included when arriving to Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM). You must arrive between the hours 06:00 to 24:00 on Sunday.

    If arriving outside the pickup times, you can book a private transfer or extra night for an additional fee. 

    Alternatively, if arriving early you could wait at the arrival’s terminal for the pickup time, book accommodation at the airport and meet us during the pickup times or make your own way to the project (we will advise on how to do this).

    From the airport to Kathmandu accommodation, it takes 45 minutes by taxi.

    For Pokhara placements you will be picked up at KTM airport and spend the first night (Sunday) at the accommodation in Kathmandu. On Monday you will have an orientation day in Kathmandu (no orientation is offered in Pokhara). On Tuesday, you will be transferred to Pokhara, before starting your project on the Wednesday. If your first project is in Pokhara then the transfer is included. If first volunteering in Kathmandu, and then changing to a project in Pokhara, you will need to pay extra for the transfer.

You will be picked up at KTM airport and spend the first night (Sunday) at the accommodation in Kathmandu. On Monday you will have an orientation day in Kathmandu.
